As someone who thinks about food almost constantly and someone who also has a great memory (a trait Ben does not always find endearing, by the way), it is only natural that I remember most of my frie...
[To read part 1 of my Charleston adventures, click here.] On the second to last night of our workshop, Helene arranged a very special treat for us. We were to have dinner at a fantastic Charleston re...
Do you make your own croutons? If you don’t, you should try it. In the past, I figured it wasn’t worth the effort since the store-bought kind taste pretty good. Over time, I’ve slow...
So here’s the deal with these mac and cheese bites. When I first made them, I did not have very high hopes. Though a cute idea in theory, I imagined they weren’t much more than that, and ...
My ideal Mother’s Day is pretty simple. Wake up no earlier than 7 am (because, let’s be real, the kids have no idea what day it is so 7 would be optimistic), simple breakfast in bed follo...
Two weeks ago today (but it feels like far longer), I had the opportunity to take a trip that already seems as though it may have been a dream. A four night, three day food photography workshop…...
I don’t know about you, but the warm, bright spring weather always has me craving lighter fare. While pasta is in heavy rotation during the winter months, I’m just not feeling it as much ...
Oatmeal. Eggs. Smoothies. Repeat. This is the general breakfast routine in our home 90% of the time. Occasionally we get crazy and make breakfast sandwiches or cinnamon rolls, but most of the time we...
To cap off my week-long blogiversary celebration, I knew some sort of fabulous dessert was in order. After all, this is a very exciting occasion for me. I only celebrate my blogiversary once every fi...
Aside from snuggles with my babies and cute, homemade handprint cards, family brunch is definitely one of my favorite things about Mother’s Day. Brunch and Mother’s Day are like peas and ...
Confession time: I’ve known about this pizza for the better part of a year, and I haven’t shared it with you yet. Shame on me. But you see, I had good intentions. I first tried this pizza...
With the passing of my 5 year blogiversary and looking forward to the next five years, I’ve decided to start a new feature here on Annie’s Eats called Tuesday Tweaks. I’ll be highli...
Five years ago today, I published my very first post here on Annie’s Eats. Except it wasn’t here exactly, but hosted on a different blogging platform with a boring ol’ template, no ...
A couple of months ago, we brought a meal over to some friends who recently welcomed the most adorable new addition to their family. As a thank you, the new dad offered me a bag full of frozen wild b...
So, check it out. When I realized that Cinco de Mayo fell on a Saturday this year, I was totally pumped. Why? Because, it means a blissful weekend day full of Mexican food and margaritas. That’...
With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, a lot of you are busy planning menus for your various fiestas. For me, Mexican entrees are no trouble to come up with. Most involve some combination of tort...
Cooking with dried beans may be a no-brainer for some, but I only recently made the transition from canned for reasons outlined below. A few readers have asked about how I prepare and cook with dried...
French onion soup is one of my all-time favorite flavors, and that’s saying something coming from a soup lover such as myself. Once spring weather starts to appear though, I’m not really ...
Does that not sound amazing? The moment I first laid eyes on this recipe, I knew we would be fast friends. I made it. We ate it. And oh, did we love it. For a die-hard chocolate lover such as myself,...
Things have been rather frenzied for me lately. There has been a lot going on, at work, with family, life in general. A week or two ago I finally had a moment to come up for air one glorious weekend ...
As a pretty decent home cook, there aren’t tons of restaurant foods that I can’t make at home. Typically if I’m unable to recreate a dish at home, it’s more a matter of hard-t...
It’s almost here, one of my very favorite days of the year! Earth Day this year is Sunday, the 22nd. Ben and I have had many eco-friendly habits engrained in us for a long time, such as recycli...
Chances are if you’re from the midwest, you’ve at least heard of morel mushrooms. Maybe you’ve bought these highly sought after mushrooms at the farmers’ market or even gone ...
I think most people (at least those of us who are human) have a fast food item or two that we just really like. Panera’s mac and cheese is one of mine. When Andrew was younger, I would order ...
Something I have learned over the past several years of blogging is that one of the biggest hang ups people have in the kitchen is the potential for failure. It seems often people are afraid to even...
For those who are raised in the south, banana pudding is a staple dessert item. However, for this midwestern girl, banana pudding is something I had never even heard of until just a couple of years ...
Is the cloud cake the next ruffle cake? I think it might just be. From the time not long ago I first saw one until Caroline’s party, I’ve seen them popping up all over the place. IR...
Cliche though it may be, I truly can’t believe that a year has already passed since our sweet baby girl was born. It seems like just yesterday we were on the way to the hospital filled with ex...
Have you ever made a frittata? If you haven’t, you should. Frittata is a quick and simple meal option that can be on the table and ready to go in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. P...
You’re probably wondering what has happened to the girl who used to have lukewarm feelings at best towards citrus, what with all the citrus-based desserts I’ve been sharing lately. No wo...
